Novel Pastimes Post – Civil War Hospital Trains
I’m so pleased to be a guest on Novel Pastimes talking about Civil War hospital trains.
Army surgeons and ordinary citizens weren’t able to adequately care for high numbers of wounded at battlefield hospitals such as the ones at Gettysburg. They tended the soldiers heroically for hours on end. The wounded traveled to larger cities as soon as they were able on hospital trains. Read about them here.
Third Blog Tour Stop
I am thrilled to be a guest on the blog of Norma Gail, fellow author. This is the first of two posts on Norma’s blog. She gives all the important links for my Civil War romance releasing tomorrow!
A Rebel in My House is set during the historic Battle of Gettysburg and the tumultuous days that followed. The soldiers didn’t leave–after the battle the uniforms on men in the streets were blue. In a town filled beyond capacity with wounded, some soldiers are caught behind enemy lines.

Almost an Author Post – Dialogue Contractions in Historical Novels
Recent discussions among historical novelists about dialogue contractions prompted me to do a little digging. I pulled a variety of novels from my bookshelf that were written in earlier eras to discover how those authors handled dialogue contractions. The results surprised me. Read about them here.
